The Dear Body Mini Retreat: Love your Body, Free Your Mind, Eat Mindfully.

 Lifelong Skills for Inner Peace
 

Join us for Dear Body: A three day weekend retreat designed to give you the space and tools to relax, reflect and create the way of living you truly desire. This retreat gives you permission to reconnect with yourself, unwind and truly escape so you can have clarity and feel rejuvenated.

Birdsnest  and The Mindfulness Clinic have come together to offer a holistic, life-changing weekend that will leave you empowered and in love with life.

Your location is the lovely village of Cooma; an easy one hour drive from Canberra, nestled within the NSW Snowy Mountains, the perfect place for reflection.  You will enjoy delicious wholesome food, morning yoga sessions, walks, meditation and be introduced to the most powerful mindfulness techniques and insights.

We begin at Birdsnest at 11:00am Friday morning, where you have the opportunity to be inspired, styled and pampered. There will be a nest tour, seasonal update over lunch and a facilitated group try on session in the store, plus the option for an individual styling session. Next we make our way to Montague House where the Mindfulness retreat will commence at 2pm and continue throughout the weekend, finishing after lunch at 2pm Sunday.

Charlotte Thaarup-Owen, founder of The Mindfulness Clinic and leading figure in Mindfulness and holistic living, will take you through the empowering Dear Body journey with warmth and energy that will bring out the very best of you.

You will feel refreshed and inspired at the end of this retreat, with a calmer approach to your life and a kinder relationship with your body.

“ It is a life changing course, I cannot express how grateful I am to have been part of it. Thank you. ” – Livia Lima 

“ Excellent workshop. Charlotte is a skilled facilitator who brought up today’s research, gentleness, compassion, incredible skills in teaching mindfulness and managed the group beautifully. I have learnt so much more than expected through addressing deeper issues through mindfulness. I would hugely recommend this course to anyone open to change and looking for a more mindful way of living and a more positive and kinder relationship with self and food. ” – Alexandra Frost Clinical Psychologist (by the way, as a side effect, I have already ten days later lost 3 KG)  

“Charlotte, I don’t know how to thank you! This is up there with Black, Blue, White that I did with Matthew Johnstone a few years ago. Life changing! ”  
 
“The depth of knowledge and understanding was very evident to me.  The way Charlotte was able to simplify the relevant research, studies and science behind the program was fantastic.”
